3rd Grade: Units 6-10 What makes our products so unique? Our products are meticulously designed by experts to ensure mastery of the STAAR test, employing a detailed and multifaceted program: Math Vocabulary and Guided Questions: Each unit introduces new math vocabulary and guided questions that can serve as the objective of the day or daily goals for teachers. This approach enhances understanding and application of mathematical concepts and terms, facilitating clearer communication and deeper learning. Unit Year Planning: Our curriculum breaks down each TEK into manageable segments, scaffolding learning for complete mastery. This methodical approach allows students to fully understand each part of the TEK as it is taught throughout the lessons, making the process more straightforward for educators. Daily Spirals: We have structured our math program to ensure continuous review by revisiting all previously taught skills each week, thus ensuring mastery. Normally, by the 7th unit, students are reviewing over 15 skills bi-weekly, covering all material from the first four units. (HIghlight daily spiral by teks. Problem Solving Process: Each unit introduces students to a thought-provoking problem-solving process that stirs curiosity and enhances analytical thinking skills. Problem Solving Questions: Beyond the daily spirals, each lesson features problem-solving questions, also known as Problem of the Day (P.O.D.) questions, that reinforce the previously taught lesson's skills. Vertically Aligned Pre-Assessments: Our approach begins each unit with a succinct pre-assessment that aligns vertically with the new TEKs introduced, enabling focused and effective learning. Guided Practice: Every unit includes guided practice sections designed to effectively teach new TEKs/Skills. These can be utilized alongside our engaging animated instructional videos, enhancing the learning experience. Skill Building/Independent Practice: Lessons are designed to strengthen students’ math skills and problem-solving abilities through word problems, including STAAR 2.0 questions marked by a small star symbol. Homework: We incorporate homework into the lessons to enable students to reinforce the concepts and skills learned in the classroom at home. Games: Each unit contains fun and educational games that reinforce the skills learned in each lesson, making learning enjoyable and effective. Checkpoints: At the end of each lesson, checkpoints feature a writing exercise and a problem-solving question to assess comprehension and consolidate learning. Practice and Unit Assessments: Reflecting the STAAR test's rigor, each unit includes a practice assessment and a comprehensive unit assessment featuring STAAR 2.0 questions. Standards: 3.4A Can you solve one‐step and two‐step problems involving addition and subtraction within 1,000 using strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and the relationship between addition and subtraction with fluency? 3.5E Can you represent real‐world relationships using number pairs in a table and verbal descriptions? 3.4D Determine the total number of objects when equally sized groups of objects are combined or arranged in arrays up to 10 by 10. 3.4E Represent multiplication facts by using a variety of approaches such as repeated addition, equal‐sized groups, arrays, area models, equal jumps on a number line, and skip counting. 3.4F Recall facts to multiply up to 10 by 10 with automaticity and recall the corresponding division facts. 3.4G Use strategies and algorithms, including the standard algorithm, to multiply a two‐digit number by a one‐digit number. 3.5C Describe a multiplication expression as a comparison such as 3 x 24 represents 3 times as much as 24. 3.5D Determine the unknown whole number in a multiplication or division equation relating three whole numbers when the unknown is either a missing factor or product. 3.6C Determine the area of rectangles with whole-number side lengths in problems using multiplication. 3.4K Solve one‐step and two‐step problems involving multiplication and division within 100 using strategies. 3.5B Represent and solve one‐ and two‐step multiplication and division problems within 100. 3.4H Determine the number of objects in each group when a set of objects is partitioned into equal shares or a set of objects is shared equally. 3.4I Determine if a number is even or odd using divisibility rules. 3.4J Determine a quotient using the relationship between multiplication and division. 3.4F Recall facts to multiply up to 10 by 10 with automaticity and recall the corresponding division facts. 3.5D Determine the unknown whole number in a multiplication or division equation relating three whole numbers when the unknown is either a missing factor or product. 3.4K Solve one‐step and two‐step problems involving multiplication and division within 100 using strategies based on objects; pictorial models, including arrays, area models, and equal groups; properties of operations; or recall of facts. 3.5B Represent and solve one‐ and two‐step multiplication and division problems within 100 using arrays, strip diagrams, and equations. 3.5E Represent real‐world relationships using number pairs in a table and verbal descriptions.
